This name comes from the Latin “faustus,” meaning “friendly, lucky, felix, successful, auspicious, prosperous, flourishing,” which in turn derives from “faveō,” meaning “support, encourage, indulge, to be favorable to.” Faustus is a Latin praenomen or personal name. It was never particularly common in Rome but may have been used more frequently in the countryside. The name was not usually abbreviated but occasionally found shortened “F.” During the Roman Empire period, it was widely used as a cognomen or surname. As the Roman nomenclature system began to break down towards the end of the Western Empire in the 4th and 5th-centuries, Faustus once again became a personal name, and it has survived into modern times.
Tamino is the main character (a prince and hero) in the opera The Magic Flute (Die Zauberflöte) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The origin of this name is still quite uncertain today. The theories include: 1) From the Italian origin of unknown meaning. 2) From the Ancient Greek “tamíās (ταμίᾱς),” meaning “steward, dispenser,” from “témnō (τέμνω),” meaning “cut, hew, maim, wound, butcher, sacrifice.”
